The Last of Us New Difficulty Mode Explained; PS4 Release Still On Track For Summer 2014

GearNuke: "The Last of Us will get a new difficulty mode in the latest DLC, which will add new incentive to replay the game again. People might be wondering what’s new in this additional difficulty mode. According to Arne Meyer, Community Strategist at Naughty Dog, this new difficulty mode is “a step beyond” even the Survivor mode."

That's good to hear but I don't think they can keep that "E3 surprise release" some people are talking about ...I'm excepting August at the moment. Still pretty good as it would be just a few months after the announcement.

Army_of_Darkness4068d ago

I never got to play last of us yet and won't have a ps4 until July-Aug anyways, so it works out for me.

showtimefolks4068d ago (Edited 4068d ago )

see this for targeting gamers like you, who didn't have a ps3 or didn't get to play TLOU. Now you get the definitive version with all the DLC

and for gamers like me who are wiling to spend $60 one more time to support ND/sony because this game deserves it. Sony had the balls to release a new IP late in the console life when people say new Ip's are doomed if they launch late

my thing is as long as its a quality game, it will sell no matter when its launching.

I am very interested to see what kind of sales TLOU could get on ps4. If sony wants to make more than release it by June/july because after that starting in late august some big titles will be releasing

IMO 2-3 million copies sold is likely, but i am not analyst so i could be wrong

M83_4068d ago

^^

You're still a fuck of a lot better than Pachter anyhow

theDivision4068d ago

@showtimefolks

I agree, releasing it in july/june will certainly help its sales. August bigger games are supposed to be coming out and if they can squeeze this game out before then I think it will definitely help their sales.

LonDonE4067d ago (Edited 4067d ago )

@Army_of_Darkness
what would be even more awesome is if Sony and naughty dog allow people like us who bought and still own the PS3 version to be able to pay a massively discounted price for TLOU REMASTERED due to being playstation plus subscribers and supporters of the PS3 version!!

That would be awesome! like the upgrade program.
PSN PLUS games has been a bit thin on PS4 since launch which is to be expected since the game library is limited, but still a discounted version for PS3 owners of the game would go a long way to showing us appreciation!

Either way i will be buying it since for me its in my top 5 best games of all time! along with metroid prime and few others.
Games like this are a game changer and completing it on survivor mode was a mind blowing experience, so i am looking forward to the new difficulty mode.

UltraNova4067d ago

@showtimefolks

At 6 million + sold I doubt ND needs any support. Its good though new people can experience this game which I consider the best of the better part of a decade.

60 though.. I dont know...still buying it day1.

I'm betting it's still June... and hoping

Magicite4068d ago

gonna be first must-have game on ps4 for me (haven't played it on ps3 yet and Im glad).

Nitrowolf24068d ago

clicked expecting an explaination only to be told what we already been told (that Grounded is harder than survival)

Plyzz4068d ago

Exactly my thoughts..
It would be amazing if the "new" and harder AI in Grounded Mode will behave like the AI did in the early TLoU trailers. :)
Either way, this game will never get old.

sashimi4068d ago

honestly grounded shouldn't be to hard for me since i already beat survival without using much of any items with minimal weapon usage except during the sewer scene to get past certain sections without room clearing and rarely any healing.

But nonetheless imma play it since i have season pass :)

LKHGFDSA4068d ago

Survivor mode was crap, you have to stealth the whole game and strangle the enemies. it's not as enjoyable IMO and it's not really survival horror IMO.

mike32UK4068d ago

i think that's why the majority of people did like survivor mode, it actually required patience and skill opposed to easy where you could just go nuts and not care about the consequences

AaronPS4068d ago

Using desperate measures such as stealth and carefully planning when and if to use items isn't survival horror?

Jonny5isalive4068d ago

I liked survivor, I had more supplies when I played survivor than hard since it was my second time playing. By the end of survivor I had maxed bombs/moltolvs, deagle ammo and tons of other ammo. I destroyed the soldier guys at the end with explosions and fire.

KinjoTakemura4068d ago

These modes aren't for people who like to run though a game with weapons blazing. These modes require patience and forethought. Some people just don't have the patience.

BlackTar1874068d ago

So i'm getting you really like guns and shooters.

As expected. Unless it's going to Xbox or Switch 2, we can stop hearing about these older games now? We can move on to just news about new games?

darthv7276d ago

....until the PS6 remake followed by the PS7 reboot

Christopher76d ago

Man, first year of PS6 is going to be 90% remasters. I'm going to hate it and likely hold off until new games actually get released that I can't play on my PS5.

Cacabunga76d ago

Yes I’m waiting for complete remaster…. On ps5

OtterX76d ago

...20 years later, "you haven't heard the last of us yet!" *releases The Last of Us Retro Collection*

cloganart75d ago

@Christopher

Oof, yeah. I don't think I'm picking up the PS6 until "Pro" comes out 😂

Cacabunga75d ago

I haven’t played Tlou1 since PS3 and i have the greatest memory of it

Notellin75d ago

I'm already dreading all the cross generation games and remasters we'll see with the next round of consoles.

LonDonE75d ago

lmao this is getting ridiculous but thing is if people keep buying them.. then why would they stop making them?
Peeps STOP BUYING this game.. that actually hurts me to say this as the last of us is high up on my greatest games of all times.. its one of the few games i played through start to finish 3/4 times back to back as i loved it so much. But sony need to stop, give us a Resistance 3 remaster, i would love and buy that.. such an underated series as was killzone.
Or give us infamous.. so many great series and titles i would gladly buy but they just want to keep giving us last of us.

I am done buying that game.. i would only buy part 2 remaster if they remade it and kept joel alive, or i am not interested. Hate last of us 2s story killing off joel.. the actual game is stunning and incredible, they improved so much in the gameplay department but i hate the story with a passion.

Profchaos76d ago (Edited 76d ago )

We can stop hearing about it when they stop re-releasing them I guess.

I reckon the ps6 version will be 8k 240 and I'll still not care.

I miss new games from nd

Inverno75d ago

And HBO just announced season 3 even tho LoU2 couldn't possibly be so long that it wouldn't be able to fit in 1 season. They're just milking it at this point.

darthv7275d ago

speaking of the HBO series... I felt they should have made part 1 across two seasons, then address part 2 in seasons 3 and 4. so now i have a feeling they rushed through part 1 in season 1 to make season 2 a cliff hanger with Joel's impending demise being the starting point to Season 3.

-Foxtrot75d ago

I love how they decided to rush, chop and change things for Season 1 to get through the game yet for TLOU Part II it’s like “we’re going to do multiple seasons and take our time”

Inverno75d ago

Okay after seeing that there's only 7 episodes I take it back. Though I think it's incredibly stupid not to have just made the season longer. Another season just to finish what could've just been a 13 episode season seems counterintuitive but aiight. I put that on HBO tho.

Neonridr76d ago

This will be the 4th time Sony sells us The Last of Us Part 1.. And the 2nd time on the PS5.

Knushwood Butt75d ago

They don't want Metroid Prime holding that record,

NotoriousWhiz75d ago

Strange, I thought the record went to Street Fighter 2.

FPS_D3TH76d ago

We are approaching Skyrim levels here

Profchaos76d ago

At this point we are at Skyrim in terms of frequency. Skyrim was one per generation. If you exclude VR Skyrim we've now exceeded it

Tlou 1 PS3, 1 PS4 2 ps5
Skyrim 1 ps360 2 PS4/x1/vr 1 ps5/sx

Tlou 4
Skyrim 4

Christopher76d ago

Not quite. Skyrim had:

PS3/360/PC
PS4/X1
VR
Switch
Skyrim Special Edition PC/PS4/X1
Skyrim Special Edition PS5/XSX

VersusDMC75d ago (Edited 75d ago )

Also add skyrim bundles like the one below and all the humble bundles since that's what everyone is doing here

https://www.xbox.com/en-CA/...

darthv7275d ago

@Chris, LoU is getting just as bad by milking the same user base. At least Skyrim was able to sell to a wider audience via different platforms.

Christopher75d ago

@darthv72: I don't know why you're telling me that. I only corrected on number of Skyrim re-releases/ports/etc. I didn't say anything else.

Profchaos75d ago

@christopher guess I forgot just how much was out I think the special editions are technically one release despite being cross platform though would the Alexa version count

Christopher75d ago

@Profchaos: I guess, but I'd consider it a separate release since it rolled them into one at a later date but definitely there is a PS5/XSX version with PS5/XSX supported updates specific to them.

Chevalier75d ago

"LoU is getting just as bad by milking the same user base"

Weird. Like 35% of PS5 owners are NEW to Playstation. Plus this is really for new fans from the TV series for season 2 of TLOU.

I recall the same idiotic comments when the 1st one was remade just before TLOU TV Series came out and it went on the be one of the best selling games that year.

So maybe get your FACTS straight. Unlike Skyrim getting literally releases in 3 generations and 10 releases.

I gotta figure RE4 is up there too

FPS_D3TH75d ago

No. Those are remakes. Not remasters

Neonridr75d ago

@FPS - we've had quite a few RE4 remasters, only 1 remake.

CrimsonWing6974d ago (Edited 74d ago )

@FPS_D3TH

It blows my mind how people do some mental gymnastics to try to cope with a game they like doing the same thing (technically more) they’re complaining about for another game.

RE4 - PS2, GC
RE4 w Motion Controls - Wii
Literally RE4 HD Remaster - Xbox 360, PS3
I’m assuming a port of RE HD - PS4, Xbox One
RE4 Remake - PS5, Xsex

1 Remake and the bunch are Remasters… how, I mean how—Y’know what, it doesn’t matter anymore…

P_Bomb76d ago

Store says I already own it. I guess it’s just a straight twin-pack. Looks like they added 4 maps to ‘No Return’.

VersusDMC76d ago

You don't need to buy this to get the maps, marlene and bill. It all got patched in to the game on the 3rd.

P_Bomb76d ago (Edited 76d ago )

Good to know. I’ve watched runs of ‘No Return’ but have yet to try it myself. Soon, soon 😉

Knushwood Butt75d ago

Yeah, No Return got a content update.
Three new trophies too.

A mysterious physical edition of a Naughty Dog game is in the works

It's probably a bundle of both The Last of Us games

That's totally what it is I believe. It would be a great bundle for new players getting into the ecosystem

Goodguy0185d ago

They're really milking this franchise lol

anast85d ago

You must comment on every Mario, Zelda, and Skyrim article too.

darthv7285d ago

....because there has been the same mario, Zelda and Skyrim games for three console generations?

85d ago
isarai85d ago

@darthv72

Literally yes 🤨

Cacabunga85d ago

Every Mario and Zelda is different. This is just the exact same game over and over

anast85d ago

Skyrim, yes. Mario and Zelda since the 80's

Loktai85d ago

@darthv72 Uh yes. Yes it has. They milked BOTW across Wii U and switch and they STILL want 40+ for it new and never discounted it. They made "remasters" of older zelda games as well on switch and in the past onto the other gameboy platforms from the older platforms. They have done the same with Mario. They port the paper mario games and mario RPG to switch. And now I PROMISE you they are going to show "enhancements" for those same games on Switch 2. I PROMISE you thats going to get mentioned, maybe even tomorrow. Last of us Part 1 has been across techncially 3 generations, but 2 has been 2- and JUST BARELY 2 because it released just a few months before the PS5 did - and so if that counts as milking it, what do you call breath of the wild on Wii U then going to switch or Twilight Princess coming uot on gamecube and Wii - OR ZELDA WIND WAKER HD coming out?

"Skyrim games for three console generations?"

Darth showing some idiocy here. Seriously yes Skyrim has been re-released more than any other game period. It's been released on 3 generations - PS3, PS4, PS5, PSVR, PC, PC VR, Switch, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S. That's 10 releases across 3 generations! So Seriously get your DAMN facts straight.

Yui_Suzumiya85d ago

And yet Fallout 3 has never been Remastered. Prison time should be given for that offense, lol

darthv7285d ago

Skyrim sure, but the other two... not so much

thorstein84d ago (Edited 84d ago )

@darth GTAV says hi.

Skyrim has an Alexa edition.

Chevalier85d ago

Clearly a guy with business acumen! Why would Sony want to rebundle games and release them in time for the 2nd season of TLOU to release? I mean the last time a bunch of idiots laughed at Sony then guess what? TLOU part 1 for PS5 only hit top 5 sales and kept popping onto charts throughout the year?! Lol

85d ago
Chevalier85d ago

"Skyrim sure, but the other two... not so much"

Multiple Mario and Zelda games have made 2 generations. Maybe you guys forget that over a 3rd of the gamers on Playstation have NEVER owned a Playstation system before and some are coming into it as a result of the TV show.

People said the EXACT same crap when the 1st game got released on PS5, but, it ended up being one of the best selling games the year it came out.

Also for all the idiots complaining. Playstation at least offer $10 upgrades for some of these games. Have you EVER seen a re-release by Nintendo, Xbox, Bethesda offer that?! No I didn't think so.

darthv7284d ago

releasing a newer version because the previous version is not physically compatible is not quite the same as taking a perfectly good existing game that already works on the newer platform and repackaging it under a remaster brand for that newer platform and then repackaging it AGAIN for the same platform.

And that whole line of *insert people here may not have had a PS before* is a line of BS. PS2 is the most selling platform in history... chances are very good a high percentage upgrade to the PS3 and then upgraded to the PS4 and are upgrading again for the PS5. So dont give me that line of bologna. you'd rather swallow every bit of Sony propaganda instead of call them out for milking (and yes this is milking) this game. You know there will be a PS6 version and likely a PS7 remaster.

Of course i am purely speculating on the 6 & 7 but there is a high degree of probability because of what they did already between 3, 4 & 5. And you defending even the $10 upgrade when most of the XB games get free upgrades is just another sign of your blind loyalty. I didnt think it possible and gave you benefit of the doubt but now I can see i was totally wrong.

Chevalier84d ago (Edited 84d ago )

@Darth

Again your examples are absolutely terrible. Repackaged games for new audiences isn't new with the high cost of development. This release is timed for people that are new to Playstation coming from watching season 2 of the TV show. If you're surprised and annoyed by this then stop gaming then. It will happen if there's some new Skyrim, Fallout, Doom or whatever TV show comes out too.

Also you're the guy who defends Xbox for this crap too. Skyrim releases were done while owned by Xbox.

Also you mentioned the PS2, repackaged games happened all the time then too. If you think that repackaged games is going to go away with the skyrocketing cost of development is going away then sorry cover your eyes and plug your ears and pretend like an idiot then. You will be complaining daily soon.
